Hello all,My husband and I are a bit late to investing, but we know it can help supplement our retirement. 

Initially, I was hesitant about buying property due to the potential expenses, but I realized that approaching real estate as an investment could yield the financial freedom I’ve always aimed for.The Start of My JourneyIn December 2023, I decided to devote my spare time to real estate.

I'm aiming to obtain around $100,000 to $150,000 to get my foot in the door.I come with a solid credit profile, boasting a score of 786 with Experian and 773 with Equifax.

The aim is to expose businesses attempting to conceal illicit gains, thereby identifying those involved in criminal activities.As for a Home Owner Association (HOA), whether it needs to comply depends on its legal structure and tax status.Most HOAs need not file, except 501(c)(4), which probably need to comply.Who is Exempt?

I aim for modest 1-3% yearly increases.

While the intent behind AB 968 is clear—adding transparency around recent repairs and renovations—this bill may not accomplish its aim in the ways its proponents hope.

Emerging markets can offer more value and room for growth, especially for smaller investors aiming to maximize their returns.

Deciding between an SFR or a BRRRR strategy can really depend on your risk tolerance and the type of cash flow you’re aiming for.The BRRRR method can be great for long-term equity building and maximizing your returns if you’re up for a more hands-on approach, especially in markets where property values allow for renovations that increase value.

Of those 20 projects, we BRRRR 8-10 per year, and the flips supplement the money left in the BRRRRs.

They can be super helpful and a lot of them are aimed at beginners.Volunteer Your Time: Organizations like Habitat for Humanity are awesome for getting hands-on experience.
